HYDRA is a choreographic de-installation that explores an intimate encounter with materials in a state of transformation. The space unfolds from an initial sculpture in its inevitable collapse.
Through bodies, sounds, and materials that pour into one another, the entanglement of desires and their oscillations are revealed. Entities and creatures emerge and (con)fuse in a liquid, vibrant, and ever-changing landscape.
